Prohibition aims at a thing, not a
man. 1t would smite a traffic, not a
personal indulgence; annihilate grog-
shops, not invade homes. See how
this works in other matters. A mob
is a bad thing. Prohibition says,
'Repress it." But to repress it, it
may be necessary to seize private
property and destroy life; neverthe-
less, the mob is what prohibition is
after, not the life and property. A
conflagration is a bad thing. Prohi-
bition says, "Stop it." But to ''stop
it" may require seizure and destruc-
ton of property in the path of the
fire; nevertheless, the fire is what
prohibition is after, not the property.
A contagious disease is a bad thing.
Prohibition says, "Fence it in the
house must be quarantined." But
that's an interference with personal
liberty. So the saloon is a bad thing.
Prohibition says, "Abolish it." But
to abolish it, it may be necessary to
interfere with some private drinking
usage; nevertheless the saloon is what
prohibition is after, not the private
usage.
Can interference with personal
liberty be pleaded as against the sup
preston of the mob? No. Can the
plea of individual right of the proper
ty bar the effort to stamp out a con-
iagration? No. Can the right to go
in and out of our houses at pleasure
be urged as against the restraints OF
quarantine? No. Neither a a
private drinking usuage constitute a
good reason for opposing a prohibit
tory liquor law. If it smites the
usage in shifting the saloon, it does
so only incidentally. Good citizen.

The Anne Arundel Agricultural Fair
committee met at 0wensville on Monday
10 discuss the question of holding a fair
this fall. The committee consists of rep.
resentative gentlemen and ladies from
their respective neighboThoods, Mr.. Sam,
uel Brooke being the chairman Of the
committee. and Mr.. p. Ill. Israel secretary.
Il was decided at once that the fair should
be held this fall on tho 9Th. Sth And9th Of
September, but some discussion took
place as to the point where the fair should
be held. For two years past 1t has been
held at 0wensville, with increasing sue
cess, both pecuniarly and in the interest
manifested by both exhibitors and visi-
tors. After mature delibeTation, however,
the committee decided unanimously upon
Galesville. on West river, as the best
place for the fair this fall. provided the
Maryland Steamboat Company will afford
the necessary transportation facilities for
making Il 4 success.

What Annapolis Needs.

What Annapolis needs most of all, is
one or more factories that will employ
from 50 to 100 hands each. The wages
of hands in factories will average perhaps
from IS 10 $40 each per week. If one
hundred hands were thus employed here.
not less than 81 600 in cash would be paid
them, and spent in our city every Saturday.
That amount of money put in circulation
here weekly, would make business of a |
kinds flourish. Either shoe or hat
factory would pay here, The business of
this city requires such an accession TO
our other industries If one man cannot
furnish the capital, a hundred can. Stock
Companies ought to be organized, and the
necessary capital raised, to start a shoe or
hat factory as an experiments and our
merchants ought TO move in the work. as
they arc more interested in such enter
prise than others, as they would reap a
large profit from the sale of goods to the
factory hands; the railroads are interest
ed, because il would add largely to their
freight; the doctors and lawyers are in
terested, as an increase of population
would bring grist TO their mill ard GER
tainly our builders and hardware men are
interested. because the first needs of a
population are houses. Who will set the

Insulting a Little White Girl

About ten o'clock last night while
Mary Stein, the IA year old daughter of
the late Martin Stein, was passing up
Main street on her way home, and when
in the neighborhood of Tates alley. she
was seized from behind by half grown
colored man, who attempted TO pull the
girls clothes over her head. The screams
of the girl so frightened the villain that
he ran up the alley towards the State
House and disappeared in the darkness
of the night~ The girl only got glimpse
of the man who she describes as being
dressed in light clothing and barefooted.
The neighborhood was greatly incensed
over the act, and justly SO, as it has only
been few weeks since, when similar
assault was made upon little girl almost
in front of her door, and the villain was
caught, tried and convicted, and senten-
ced to two years Imprisonment in the
House of Correction, but through some
hocus -pocus of the law was afterwards
discharged and set at liberty Such out
RACES are becoming too frequent of late,
and an indignant people will make an ex-
ample of such fiends if ever caught.
